The Trump administration is seeking contractors to help it overhaul the United States’ immigrant detention system in a plan that includes renovating industrial warehouses to hold more than 80,000 immigrant detainees at a time, according to a draft solicitation reviewed by The Washington Post. - @fluffy2560

Congratulations on finding this month old news.

There are something like 14 million illegal immigrants in the US - criminals by nature as proven by the fact every one has broken US laws.

I have absolutely no problem with returning them to their countries of origin as long as it is done in a reasonable manner.

Converting a building into a deportation center isn't internment unless you are stupid.

They are trying to reign him in a bit in Congress after Venezuela BUT it's hardly a major revolt amongst Republicans.
I think he'll not invade. He doesn't need to. He can just lower the Danish flag at the northern base and increase the troops there to "defend" it. Then he'll just say it's now sovereign territory. Job effectively done. If he does do that, any US civilians elsewhere in Greenland would surely have to be ejected. I wonder if the US base commander would refuse to do it? Without authorisation from Congress, surely it would be an illegal move.

NATO needs to get in there now. There are potential bases in the East of Greenland that could be revived or temporary bases could be created. There are unused airfields there apparently.

I tend to think this is distraction from Epstein. Rubio said it was a negotiating tactic. For what though?

BTW, that guy commenting on the Daily Mail article re Trump and the generals looks about 12. - @fluffy2560

WIMPS

Instead of sending troops to deter the clear and unambiguous threat of invasion by the US, they claim to be thinking about it to defend against a zero threat from China and/or Russia.

Trump wins the propaganda BS war again because people will be stupid enough to believe two countries with no intention of attacking Greenland are a threat, but the nation with a stated aim to do is is a big friend and general fluffy bunny.

What a load of old rubbish.

Makes one wonder what they are going to do?  Establish a NATO base?  It'll take 6 months at least to bring back an airfield - unless they use the new international airport -  and mobilise enough materiel by ship to sustain a few thousand troops.  And the UK military are just depleted, they could barely field enough people to run any operation.  I suppose they could stage it through Iceland.  But it seems the USA would have to leave their base there and everywhere else.  They will rapidly become the enemy.  Maybe this is the beginning of the end of NATO and the alliances we've relied on for decades falls to bits.  And Vlad will be happy as hell. Agent Trump has brought in the big one. 


And Iran?  Or Syria?   From where is the USA going to bomb the Iranian regime or ISIS in Syria?

Iran and Syria have no ability to attack the US, and both countries are suffering the results of US interference.

Without the US, the Iranians would very probably still be a democracy.

I'm assured that Trump doesn't drink, so that excuse is not available to him.

It looks like Iran, the country that America removed the democracy from, is next.

Back to a mass murdering Shah for a while?

Still, the US gets the oil so does it really matter who gets killed?

Kidnapped, locked up, and tortured for 20 years without any evidence or charges.

The US is guilty of extremely serious crimes, but they keep him locked up and nobody will ever face charges for the crimes they have committed against him.

The US regime is an especially toxic one.
